SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS
TO RESIDENTS OF THE ESTATE
The council’s Commitments to you
These commitments to you are based on the Tustin Manifesto, drawn up by the Tustin
Community Association, and discussions with the Resident Project Group and resident
input from across the estate. These commitments represent a guarantee from the council
for these policies. They apply to all residents who have been resident on the estate 12
months before the Resident Ballot.
• Dedicated support team: We will help you to understand the proposals, the best
options for you and support you move home. This team will support vulnerable residents
with all aspects of their move and liaise with family members as necessary.
• A new home for households subject to replacement: If you want to remain on the
estate we will offer you a new home in the new development that meets your housing
needs. You will have your own private outdoor space.
• A permanent move away if you want it: If you would prefer to move away from
the Tustin Estate, we will support you to find a permanent home among the council’s
existing properties in Southwark.
• A commitment to council ownership: All the new rented homes on the estate will be
owned and managed by Southwark Council.
• Your rent will be a council rent: All the new and improved rented homes on the
estate will have council rent levels. The levels of rent are determined by property values,
and as the new builds will be of higher value, the rent will be proportionally higher.
• Your tenancy will stay the same: Your tenancy rights will be the same in existing or
new homes.
• A fair and flexible offer to homeowners: We are committed to ensuring no
homeowners are worse off financially as a result of this offer. We will offer residents
the option to sell your homes to us at an independently verified price plus a regulatory
home loss payment up to the point that a contract is let to build the replacement
homes. Homeowners will be eligible to buy a new property on the estate on a leasehold
basis. Ownership options for homeowners include shared ownership, shared equity and
equity loan. We will cover all reasonable costs incurred as a result of sale/shared equity
arrangements. If homeowners don’t have enough equity to buy a new home on the
Estate, we will work with you to find a solution that enables you to stay on the estate.
• Adaptable Homes in Over 55s Block. A commitment that tenants and homeowners
will be able to move into a dedicated Over 55’s Block or move directly into their new
home in one move.
• A commitment to high standards and high quality: Southwark Council is committed
to maintaining the estate in line with Southwark Council’s Great Estates Programme.
All new homes will be built to the latest standards as set out in current Building
Regulations, planning policy and Southwark New Homes Design Guide. For existing
residents all new homes will be as big, or bigger, than your current home and it will also
have a large outdoor private space. All homes will be energy efficient.
• Help when moving: We will also pay all reasonable removal expenses (as part of a
‘disturbance fee’) and help with arranging your move and setting up your home.
• We will minimise disruption: We will make every effort to limit disruption to you and
your household.
5 • You will receive compensation: We will pay you housing list for more than 12 months prior to the a home loss payment for the loss of your home date of the ballot.

HEVERSHAM, HILLBECK AND KENTMERE
• You will be offered a new council home on the estate.
• We will work with you to pre-allocate a home based on your needs.

same and be with Southwark Council.
• Your rent will remain a Southwark Council rent. New council rents
for new homes will apply. This is consistent with the approach across

possible. The rents for the new homes will be shared with residents,
so that you know what it will be when it comes to you choosing your
new home.
• Your service charges are based on the cost of providing services. We
are committed to making sure service charges stay as low as possible
and any increases will be phased over a number of years.
• Your council tax is based on the value of your property. As the value
of the property is likely to be higher your council tax band will likely
be higher resulting in higher council tax costs.
• If you move into a new home, your energy bills will be based on

heating system and built to new building standards will have lower
energy bills for the average user.
• If you move into a new home, your water bills will be based on what
you use and a water meter will be installed inside your home. Water
use will be reduced through the provision of low flow fittings and
appliances. This usually means smaller bills for smaller householders
and larger bills for bigger households.

payment set in law. Tenants get a payment of £6,500 (this is
reviewed annually).

Close, Kentmere House & Ullswater House
• Retention of the houses in Manor Grove with improvements to the tenanted homes
• New houses in between the houses on Manor Grove
• A new park in the centre of the estate
• A new Pilgrims’ Way School

is taken towards a RIBA Stage 3 design to securing planning permission. Once planning permission is
granted, the overall number of homes will be fixed.14
